Lillasyster Pioneers Euro RX 4 Adoption
poorly recorded audio intelligible
and ready for primetime.
Established in 2005, production
company Lillasyster supplies
content for television, web, radio and
cinema distribution across Sweden.
The company supports every
production stage from preproduction to online and delivery
of both pictures and sound.
"We've been using RX for around
a year, mainly for general noise
reduction," explains Jakob Myrman.
"We use the dialogue De-noiser
as insert on dialogue-buses and
destructive on regions with the
De-noiser module. My favourite
though is the De-clipper, which is
like black magic. Extreme clipping
can be turned into high quality audio
really easily.
"The decision to upgrade to RX
4 was simple. I´m really excited
about the Ambience Match
capabilities of this new system. As
a TV and ﬁlm editor, the ability to
create ﬁll in no-time is absolutely
amazing," says Myrman.
Recently, Lillasyster mixed a
feature documentary which was
mainly shot on a compact digital
camera with no lavs, booms or
ADR. Jakob Myrman reports that
if it wasn't for iZotope's RX audio

Lillasyster production facility has deployed iZotope RX 4 Advanced

toolkit it probably wouldn't have
been possible to play the feature
in a cinema theatre. This was partly
due to noise levels but also because
important parts of the ﬁlm's audio
were totally distorted.
"There was one speciﬁc interview
that was very important for the story
which was particularly distorted,"
recalls Myrman. "The producer
asked early on if I thought they

needed to cut the scene out of the
movie and I told him I'd do my best.
"The results where mind-blowing
- we used RX 3 De-clipper and
you wouldn't know it had ever
been distorted. RX 3 enabled the
director to tell the story that she
wanted despite a lot of quality
issues. The RX suite pretty much
saved the story."

akob Myrman, Sound Designer
at the SoFo, Stockholm-based
TV, film and radio production
company, Lillasyster, says: "RX is
the plug-in that makes the biggest
difference in sound quality on our
projects, especially on projects with
difﬁcult production circumstances -
be it because of location or budget.
"RX sets us apart from those
facilities that don't have it."
Myrman was talking after the
facility's decision to adopt RX
4 Advanced, the latest version
of an Emmy Award winning
audio repair toolkit developed by
Massachusetts-based iZotope to
address the speciﬁc needs of TV
and film editors.
iZotope's RX software system
helps transform ﬂawed audio into
pristine, usable material by removing
noises, distortions, reverb, and other
common audio problems.
RX 4 and RX 4 Advanced
incorporate signiﬁcant workﬂowoptimising functionality, leaving
more time for creativity in audio
and video editing.
iZotope claim that anyone
working in audio post-production,
broadcast, dialogue editing and
mixing, independent ﬁlmmaking, or
music production, RX 4 can make
